Saber Interactive announced during today’s Nintendo Direct that Turok: Origins will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 this fall.
The studio presented a new trailer and an overview of the title’s core systems, confirming platform support for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware and giving fans an early look at the game’s mix of first-person and third-person action.
Background and context
Turok: Origins is positioned as a sci-fi action shooter that alternates between first-person and third-person perspectives.
Saber Interactive—known for work on titles such as World War Z and recent ports and remasters—detailed gameplay that includes solo and cooperative play across hostile environments populated by dinosaurs, other creatures, and large boss encounters.
The developer framed the story around the player taking on the mantle of the Order of the Turok to confront an alien threat across the so-called Lost Lands.
What Saber Interactive revealed (paraphrased)
Saber Interactive told viewers at the Nintendo Direct that Turok: Origins will be playable in both first- and third-person modes, enabling variety in combat and exploration.
The studio explained players can face creatures, dinosaurs and bosses either solo or in co-op, unlocking new weapons and abilities as they progress through diverse, dangerous worlds.
Developers also described a DNA-based progression system: extracting DNA from defeated foes to upgrade weapons and unlock new powers, referred to in the overview as EchoSyncs.
Key features (verified from the Direct)
- Dual perspectives: players can switch between first-person and third-person action.
- Co-op and solo play: missions and encounters are designed for both single-player and cooperative sessions.
- Weapon variety: ranged and melee weapons—including plasma rifles, ray-based weapons, snipers, bows and shotguns—are called out in the overview.
- DNA upgrade system: fallen enemies yield DNA used to evolve the player’s mantle and unlock additional abilities.
- Diverse environments: levels span ancient temples, wasteland canyons, and dense jungles across the Lost Lands.
